I've already use all kind of free AV with the combination of HIPS and Anti-Spyware but

all of them(AV) are not perfect. i still get infected. I dunno why.

now i upgraded my security by adding 3rd party firewall.

choosing an AV is like a gamble.

Personally, I think that no matter what anti virus you use, safe surfing habits is still the most important factor of all. Of course, don't go believing that you can do fine without any anti virus software either. No matter what, you need SOMETHING. Just think of it as a basic insurance policy. You have it, yet you're not gonna stick around until you get injured, are you? I have tried AVG(7,8,9), Avira(9 and 10), Avast(4 and 5), and Microsoft Security Essentials throughout the years, and personally, all are the same to me. Resource-wise, Avira and MSE are better than the other 2. However, do note that with ALL these programs(1 running at a time of course), I have never had a virus problem. Resource hogging isn't much of a problem for the modern- PC with quad cores and 8gb Ram. Therefore, you CAN stay safe with AVG, provided you practice safe computing habits. Of course, if you'd feel safer with a full-blown security suite, go ahead. But remember, no antivirus or security solution will give you a 100% guarantee, only you can ensure that. Cheers.


PS: Remember to always keep your Windows up to date. Sure, Windows might not be the most secure OS around, but you CAN stay safe with it, regardless of what Apple fan-boys say. =)

One of the best anti virus programmes so far is the Avast professional for me. it comes with a simple interface and does all the jobs to keep my lappy safe.

How about you try Microsoft Security Essentials? It is free AV from microsoft and quite good too. If you absolutely must get third party then get Avast. The new version 5 is a very good improvement.
